Linehttp://wamc.org/post/herbert-london-greece-front-eu-line
<p>The Greek Population, or more than sixty percent of the population, voted “no” in the recent referendum, a position in opposition to austerity or any concession for the European Central Bank (ECB). Apparently Greeks love things just the way they are. Unfortunately, others in Europe—more specifically Germany—is unwilling to pay the bill for Greeks to retire in their fifties, receive disability payments for phantom ailments and conduct themselves so profligately that the debt has escalated to over 300 billion euros.</p><p>Wed, 15 Jul 2015 16:52:00 +0000Herbert London119660 at http://wamc.org4/23/15 Panelhttp://wamc.org/post/42315-panel

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Based on the accumulation of recent reports, Europe is among the &ldquo;walking dead.&rdquo; The recent elections in Greece and France indicate that the respective populations are resistant to austerity measures. Despite insolvency, or in France&rsquo;s case the prospect of insolvency, Europeans are so committed to their entitlements, they won&rsquo;t give them up. Claims that a higher millionaire tax will offset the deficit provides a frission for socialists, but does little to offset the financial imbalance.</p>Wed, 23 May 2012 16:27:56 +000039582 at http://wamc.org
